There have been some bad ones. But do they measure up to these?

If you consider Imperialism a religion yes. Imperialism so often adopts the predominant religion (Nazi, U.S., H.R.E.) or directly competes with it (eastern bloc communism) that I don't think it's an unreasonable position.

Perhaps we should blame the root cause here: non-representative authoritarianism. The taking of power not given.
